I think that the prospect of an API breaking "BuildStream 3" is a grim
one, and would have to be justified by some design changes (e.g. drop
python from plugins avoiding dependency hell, perhaps replacing plugins
with a more declarative language and disallowing arbitrary imports,
maybe something to learn from bazel's Starlark...)
This is very reasonable.
That said, the cmake plugin is part of buildstream-plugins, not
buildstream core. Would it make sense one day to do a major API-breaking
release of buildstream-plugins, while keeping BuildStream core at 2.x ?
